Raises possibility of potassium depletion in myocardial lesions among glomerulonephritis patients; leaves open causality and generalizability.
Myocardial necrosis and calcification in patients with glomerulonephritis may pathologically resemble lesions caused by potassium depletion.
Littman et al. (1963) studied this question. Myocardial necrosis with calcification in two patients with glomerulonephritis closely resembled lesions produced experimentally by potassium depletion.
